N2  - Recently recalled to life after years abandoned in the Bastille, Dr. Manette is psychologically scarred by his confinement and isolation, returning compulsively from time to time to the shoemaker's work that has occupied him in his cell. Perhaps only his daughter Lucie can rescue him from numb despair.
In this fast-moving story of redemption, family loyalty and heroic self-sacrifice set in the shadow of the guillotine, Dickens graphically reveals both the heartless decadence of the ancient regime and the violence unleashed by the terror. As Charles Darnay and the debauched Sydney Carton struggle to win Lucie's hearrt, we see all of France engulfed in the poisonous politics of hatred
